Create a Live Copy (AEM 6.1)


After creating a language root, you will be ready to start translating site content.

To create a live copy, follow the instructions below.

Overview

Creating a live copy has 3 steps:

  1. Choose the content to copy
  2. Choose where to copy the content (Note: This is usually under the site's language root).
  3. Name the copy


To create a Live Copy,

  1. Log into AEM as an administrator.
     
  2. Go to the side rail and select Sites.
     
  3. At the upper left, select Create > Create Live Copy.
  4. In the wizard, select which content to copy and where to copy it.

    (Step 1, "Live Copy From")

    1. Navigate to the site you wish to copy. 
    2. Select the directory you wish to translate. (Tip: Usually this is the English version of the site).

      1. To select the page, click Select (upper left). 
      2. Then click to select the English version of the site you wish to copy.
      3. Click Next (upper right).
         
  5. Now, choose where to save the Live Copy. (Tip: The Live Copy should be saved under the Language Root).

    (Step 2, "Destination Path")

    1. Navigate to the directory where you wish to add the Live Copy. (Tip: This is the language root created previously).
      For example, select the site (Geometrixx Media) and the language root (Spanish).
       
    2. Once the destination path is selected, enter a Title and a Name for the live copy.
      Tip: Both fields must be completed. 
      Tip: Spaces are not allowed in the Name field.
       
    3. click Next. This will create the live copy.
       
  6. Once the live copy is created, it can be added to a translation job.
     

Tips

  • The live copy will be saved under the language root.
  • Several live copies can “live” under the same language root.
  • You can create live copies from any directory you wish.
  • The “destination path” will be the language root created earlier.
